Chapter11: Draco

Third Person POV:

Jasmine felt suspicious on Margaret and Judith however she kept her thought to herself and started working in kitchen, she started filling bowls of medicinal soup, once every infected kitchen slave was served with soup commander Philip visited Jasmine in kitchen.

“Our soldiers are hungry since yesterday; King had asked you to prepare meal for them all... I am assigning few soldiers to help you” Commander ordered.

 Jasmine nodded her head and turned around to start preparing meal when Commander Philip again said “Ahem… I heard you was talking about Sorceress earlier… do you think it’s a Sorceress done?”

“Hm… it is my assumption” Jasmine said “Ahem… Commander Philip, do you know how long is Margaret and Judith working here in army camp?” Jasmine added

“Margaret, she is working here from last one year, we found her wounded in an abandon house in one of kingdom where we had our raid, she was skilled in cooking hence we allowed her to be part of our kitchen slave, Judith came here six month back, were we not sure of what job to let her do but our old king Aldrich assigned Judith to army, since then she started as server to King Aldrich” Commander Philip replied.

“And one more things… Margaret and Judith are leaving to another kingdom for getting herbs to create medicine for treating infected people so… yo.. so you even have to take care of one more duty that Margaret used to do” Commander Philip replied with hesitated voice “What is it?” Jasmine questioned “You have to take… food to one more prisoner, he.. He is locked in our underground prison” Commander Philip said “I’ll ask my solider to accompany you, he will show you that prison, until Margaret is back.. You will take care of her responsibilities” Commander Philip added.

Jasmine was dumb folded however she agreed to commander command and started preparing meal for soldiers, soon fifty soldiers from army camp walked in to help her, by early evening meal was prepared and served to everyone, it was a simple meal of mixed vegetable rice with roasted chicken and beetroot soup.

By late evening a solider named Oleg informed jasmine about serving food to underground prisoner, Jasmine prepare a fresh tray of food for prisoner however solider Oleg immediately dropped it all in basin “How dare you to even think of serving such good meal to prisoner, didn’t commander told you, prisoners here are only served wasted and left over food” Solider Oleg growled on Jasmine.

His taller physical was overbearing and commanding, Jasmine flinched and replied back “My apologies solider Oleg, but I am not aware of this information”

Oleg waved his hand and said “Take all those leftover from solider plate and fill it in a bowl to serve him”

As Jasmine started filling bowl with all left over and dirty food in bowl she felt disgust and pity at same time, she thought for a minute and quietly replace that leftover bowl with fresh and warm mixed vegetable rice and beetroot soup, she then put a lid on top of that bowl and arranged few shredded pieces of roasted chicken on It, she than arranged a fresh warm water glass on her tray and headed out where solider Oleg was waiting for her.

Oleg glanced at tray in her hand and seemed content when he saw leftover pieces on top however only Jasmine knew she was hiding fresh food under it “Let’s go” Solider Oleg said and guided her towards underground prison.                                                                                                

At one end of army troop, Jasmine saw four guards guarding a big wooden plan, upon seeing solder Ogle one of them greeted him and immediately opened wooden door on ground “From now on she will come here to serve that monster” Oleg replied and gestured jasmine to enter “Arent you coming with me?” jasmine questioned him “No, I am not slave like you” Oleg replied rudely, Jasmine hesitated but she still stepped ahead and inside wooden door on ground, there was a short straight stone steps down ladder, when Jasmine reached at bottom she felt like she was in her dream

“This can’t be true” Jasmine said and with wobbly leg started walking ahead, a dark corridor lited with only few oil lamp on either of wall was very scary but the fact that Jasmine had already seen it in her dreams made it more terrified, underground was exceptionally cold, Jasmine felt Goosebumps all over her body, in less than minute she reached in front a dark steel bar prison, her nose was instantly filled with pungent smell, she scrounged her nose and tried to fix her vision.

Inside of prison was just the way Jasmine had seen in her dream, a lone dim oil lamp in one corner, the husk bed, cold wet floor and even the pungent, sweaty smell, as she kept roaming her eyes she stooped when she saw a faint figure of a man hanging from wall.

It was dim yet Jasmine was able to see his familiar yet unknown figure, he was kneeling on floor with his both hands tied up from ceiling with witchbone copper, even the bar of prison were made of witchbone copper, Jasmine very careful tried to study his feature, his long hairs were falling on front of his face while his body was covered in bruises an marks.

Jasmine felt like she was stuck in between reality and dream when suddenly she heard a small chuckle coming from same prisoner man in front of her, she abruptly  got back in her senses when “Didn’t I told you.. you will be meeting me today” man said and lifted his head up, a sinister smile was plastered on his face, his deep blue eyes were full of authority as he stared right at Jasmine.

“Oh Lord…” Jasmine said as her finger subconsciously clutched hard on tray in her hand “You… ah.. yo.. you are real?” she added said as her eyes went wide in shock “Didn’t you feel me in your dreams…” he said and kept his intense gaze on Jasmine, Jasmine suddenly broke in cold sweat on his words “ho.. how.. is this possible?” she murmured to herself, she quickly slid food tray inside his prison and immediately ran back to surface where Solider Oleg was waiting for her.

Jasmine got out of underground prison but she accidently tripped her foot on a stone and was about to fell flat on ground but she was supported by Solider Oleg “Than.. Thank you” Jasmine said maintaining her calmed posture however in process two button of her gown got opened reveling her flawless full skin on chest, Jasmine was unaware of it but Solider Oleg gaze got fixed on her exposed skin.

Jasmine hurriedly ran back to kitchen, her mind was still occupied with man in underground prison; it was almost dark when she and other solider started cleaning utensil of all food that was served to army, by midnight when everything was done every kitchen work was done Jasmine headed back to her slave tent.

She than thought of taking a short bath before going to bed since she missed to take one while she was at her shop, Jasmine pulled out a simple cotton dress and left for taking bath in their common slave washroom outside her tent, as she started taking of her clothing she felt someone presence inside, Jasmine quickly turned and saw solider Oleg standing behind her.

Solider Oleg pushed Jasmine in wall and started forcing himself on her “What are you… ahmmm” Jasmine was startled, when she tried to questioned him solider Ogle pressed his big palm on her mouth “SHUT UP YOU FUCKING SLAVE, YOU SHOULD BE GRATEFUL THAT I AM TOUCHING YOU” Oleg growled lowly and started tearing jasmine clothing one by one in meantime she struggled to break free from his hold, he was after all a solider Tallis kingdom, army of Tallis is considered as massive and strongest among all kingdoms all over world.

Jasmine was not weak but she was helpless in this situation, Solider Oleg was over powering her, Jasmine was on verge of crying when all of sudden a big wooden bucket came flaying in their direction and slammed straight on Oleg head “AAhhhh… you dare to hit me!” Oleg shouted on Jasmine with fierce looking face, he rushed in jasmine direction but something tripped him, then he was flung on the ground and hit with one of four oil lamp which were lited  inside washroom, bits of broken glass streaked all over his face and chest.

He got up screaming and started at Jasmine angrily “You’ll regret hitting me bitch, I’ll fucking kill you”

After he left, Jasmine turned her head to broken pieces of oil lamp on ground, she thought to herself , all four lamps were placed on four corner of their common washroom, which was far from where they were, than how did lamp came flying all the way towards solider Oleg?

Jasmine was deep in her though when a bucket full of cold water was poured on her from behind “Ahhhe….” jasmine wince as cold water touched her body, she turned around and saw no one behind her, that’s when her eyes feel on a figure in mirror.

It’s the man in underground prison, man of her exotic dreams!

Jasmine screamed in horror when that man reached out his hand and strangled her neck, he pressed Jasmine down on wet cold floor of their washroom and brought his lips close to her ears, his body was burning hot like a volcano, Jasmine felt her entire body was presser with hot iron.

“How dare you to run away from me?” he said in his cold dark tone, his voice seemed very angry, his hand kept tightening around Jasmine neck that she could hardly breath.

She struggled and begged “Plee.. Please let me go…  yo.. you are mistaken wit.. With me, I.. I.. am not who you think”

“Is that so, huh? Are you trying to tell me that you don’t know me?” he said in dangerous tone

“Nooo.. Noooo.. I don’t know you, please leave me” Jasmine lied and her dragon wing rune on her wrist started burning.

“Then let me remind you who I am…” He said and in split second tore away every single piece of clothing on Jasmine body, and before jasmine could struggle or push him away, he pulled her leg up and snaked them around his waist, Jasmine got alerted on what was happening and just like she predicted he pulled down his trouser reveling his stone hard member and thrust it all at once inside her water wet core “AAAhhhhh……….” Jasmine winced in pain.

He kept on thrusting inside her with rage, Jasmine was able to feel hotness of his upper naked torso that was pressed on her body like second skin, she wriggled and winced under his warm embrace, she sub consciously pressed her teeth in between her lips which was not covered with few drop of her crimson blood.

Seeing blood dripping down from Jasmine lips he suddenly smashed his lips on her lips and started sucking them like his life depend on it, he was kissing and fucking her at same time on cold wet washroom floor.

Half hour he at last released her inside her but just like dream nothing was in really filled inside her vagina.

Jasmine was able to experience every feeling of actual sex with this man but like dream where there is no physical contact in people, she was able to feel his ejection but nothing in real filled her core, it seemed like she was having sex with ghost.

“Now do you remember me?” He questioned her breathing hot air on her ear “Who.. who are you?” Jasmine questioned him in her low voice.

He kept fanning hot breaths on her ear until “Draco” he said in his deep magnetic voice.

“Lis. Lisen, it’s a mistake… please, you.. you can.. not torture me.. like this” I said in pleading tone when he suddenly pulled my left breast in his hand and squeezed it hard and said “NO….. Jasmine, you are mine and this was your promise, you cannot step back now, I am now going to mark you so you won’t attract anyone”

After which Jasmine felt a sharp pain in left side of chest, she felt like my skin was set on fire, it was like something bad was happening to her but her body was paralyzed to do anything, then the next thing she remember did was screamed and fainted.

Jasmine POV:

When I woke up, it was almost sunrise and I found myself lying on my bed in our servant tent neatly clothe in white cotton gown that I took with me yesterday to change after bath, my entire body was aching and in brushing pain.

 I took off my night gown and found a Rune on my chest, I quickly walked to our only mirror in tent and found that it was my palm long a dagger Rune which was encircled with a dragon around it in spiral, my entire Rune was made of forest green color and it looked new with some redness around.

I felt very humiliated; I was forcefully claimed and marked by “Draco”, he considered me as nothing less than his slave, maybe I’ll die in his hand in few days.

I cannot die, I am still 19, I am not even married let only I never even had sex before in real.

Thinking of which I quickly changed and rushed out all the way towards army gate, it was still early morning.

“Where are you going slave?” A door guard asked me “I want to visit castle for some herbal medicine for myself” I hastily lied and all five door guard shared a common look “You know, all kitchen slaves are infected by a disease, I hope you don’t want to see me getting infected, then there will be no one to cook and serve food in army” I added and all guard let me passed by, I borrowed a brown horse of one guard and headed towards town.

There are many temples in mountain array of Tallis, I have heard that Terramama du temple was very effective, monks there were very competent and knowledgeable, they might be able to help me, I wasn’t sure of who Draco was and how he was able to get physical with me when in real he was locked in underground prison, I assumed he was a ghost because of which I came to temple for praying and finding a solution to my misery.

When I reached at Terramama du temple, it was early morning because of which there was not so crowd of people, I bought a basket of fresh eight holy fruit and a bowl of pink rose petal water as offering.

I kneel down at entrance of big ceremony hall and offered my fruit basket and pink Rose petal water but the instant I kept them on offering table my fruits decayed and my pink rose petal water turned into blood, I was horrified with that scene.

At that time, I heard someone said to me from behind “Child, your worship won’t be accepted by goddess, it’s useless”

I turned my head a saw a monk busy sprinkling holy water on walls of temple “Master, why is my offering will not be accepted, I did nothing wrong to anger lord” I replied.

The monk sighed and picked up my decayed fruit basket and blood bowl “Go find your answer to where it all started” he said walking away.

Monk words scared me, I thought of running away but I was punished with kitchen service by our new King Sargon, thinking of which I unwilling returned back to Tallis army camp, I started preparing breakfast soldiers from previous day helped me since entire kitchen staff and server were still bed ridden.

After breakfast was prepared we started serving it out to soldiers, today we prepared simple sweet Jaggery and almond rice porridge, also as instructed by commander Philip I carried out one bowl of porridge and glass of water to Draco who was still in underground prison of army camp.

Guards of prison allowed me to enter since they were informed yesterday by solider Oleg, I climbed down the stairs and walked ahead in dark underground corridor until I reached near witchbone copper bar prison, it was smelling bad, a Withcbone copper has one hideous smell, many people are not familiar with this smell but since I grew up with my grandmother I was well aware of this element,

Witchbone copper are derived from only spine bone of powerful witches, they are mixed together with lake copper and   generally used to build weapon and prison to weaken the power of any powerful creatures, this is kind of witchcraft is performed by a  very powerful sorcerer who have high knowledge and power.

As I stood in front of prison I glanced at person kneeling on ground in inside it, I cleared my throat yet he ignored me when “Ahem…. Wh.. why… me?” I questioned in low voice hearing which Draco very lazily lifted his head up and started straight at me in my eyes and said “Because… you are MINE…”
